path vs file name


From: Alfred M. Szmidt
Subject: path vs file name
Date: Mon, 10 Jan 2005 18:27:53 +0100

This one annoyed me a bit, there might be other places where the word
"path" is incorrectly used for "file name".  From the GCS (and I
happen to agree quite strongly):

Please do not use the term "pathname" that is used in Unix
documentation; use "file name" (two words) instead.  We use the term
"path" only for search paths, which are lists of directory names.

OK to commit?

        * console.c (consnode_path): Renamed to ...
        (console_node): ... this.  Updated all references.
